All about cutlery sets for 12 people

Cutlery. Many do not think about the importance of these items, as they use them every day. And, most likely, do not even think about the material from which they are made.

Many families have not survived such a lifestyle that dishes should be divided into everyday and festive. Therefore, the separation of cutlery is absent.

The article will talk about the spoons, forks and knives themselves.

What types they are divided into, of what material they are made. Consider the holiday and gift sets for 12 people.

Before going directly to the very description of cutlery, It is worth paying attention to those characteristics that distinguish one or another set:

1. material of which the product is made;
2. product quality;
3. weight and balance of the subject;
4. product design.

These 4 points say a lot, for example, about the time of use of the object or the cost of goods.

Most likely, many did not think about what material they make tableware. Just content with the fact that they are made of metal.

But in fact, the materials for creating appliances for the meal are much more.

Aluminum - not the most expensive and not the most practical option.

Such devices are lighter than devices made of steel, and this material is not afraid of corrosion (but any metal does not like water, therefore too long contact with liquids is undesirable).

But it is not often possible to find dishes from this material on the market, since the demand for it is not so great. And all because many are still wondering, can neither prove nor disprove the fact that aluminum in the pot can be harmful.

Due to the fact that products from this material are not so expensive, aluminum appliances are popular in canteens and in places of public catering.

Stainless or surgical steel - This type is most often used for the manufacture of cutlery. Because of the unique composition, namely: because of the alloy of chromium and nickel, steel is not terrible corrosion.

Steel is quite difficult to break, much less bendtherefore products from this alloy will serve you long service.

Plastic. For such devices use special food plastic. They are easy, practical (if you do not intentionally try to break them, they will serve you for a long time). Often, these kits come complete with boxes or thermos for soup.

The advantage of this plastic over the usual is that there is no need to throw it away after one use.

Everyone knows that at the table for each person all dishes are served in portions, and also tableware is given in portions.

From here there is the following complete set of sets: for one person, 6, 8 and 12 people.

The number of items in such sets ranges from 4 to 130, and these are knives, forks and spoons. The quantity may vary depending on the manufacturer or the wishes of the buyer.

It all depends on what equipment you want to choose.

For tea service also has its own additional items. For example, in addition to a teaspoon, there are coffee, sugar spoons, fruit knives.

A dining set for 12 people - the most common among the sets. He is often presented as a gift, or purchased simply for himself. This service can be divided - to make part of the devices everyday, and leave another part for guests.

The number of items in such a suitcase is 72. Consider exactly what is included in it.

In the simplest version of the case will be:

• 12 dining spoons;
• 12 dining knives;
• 12 dining forks;
• 12 teaspoons.

But if we consider gift sets and more expensive models, then in suitcases one can also find spoons for jam, sauce and sugar scoops, knives and forks for seafood, salad forks of small size.

After you determine the number of items in the table set, It is necessary to focus on a number of points.

1. Devices should sparkle and shimmer. It doesn't matter what material was used for forks, knives or spoons. It can be steel, silver, aluminum. The material does not play such a role, as long as the set shines.
2. The edges of the objects should be smooth, without chipping and scuffing.
3. The bend of the instrument must be thickened. Thickening will be responsible for the strength of the device in this place. And this thickness should be not less than 1.5 mm.
4. The depth of the spoon, respectively, should be about 7 mm.
5. The blade of the knife, in addition to sharpening, must undergo additional treatment in the form of hardening. This will increase durability and service life.
6. Each item in the set should not have a pronounced smell of metal, as well as the smell of processing or engine oil.
7. It is best to buy any dishes in special stores where you can check all the points, discuss all the nuances, and also have a warranty card.
8. Choosing the combined tableware, you should pay your attention to the joints and connections. There should be no displacement or crevices, and the handle should not move in any way.

Proper operation is not an indication that the item will serve you a long time. He must also properly care.

It is worth paying attention that if there are drawings, spraying or painting on objects, then they should be washed only with hands without a metal brush.

After eating all the cutlery should be washed. under a stream of warm water, with a mild dish detergent and manually.

If you want to wash in the dishwasher, you should place the devices in a specialized compartment so that it is better to rinse them so that small objects (for example, a coffee spoon or nozzle) are not lost or fall into a hard-to-reach place.

To clean the devices in a small bowl, dilute the detergent, dip the dirty dishes in it and wait half an hour.

Use of special paste for rubbing devices is allowed. Paste will bring objects in proper condition and give shine.
